In simple terms, web analytics, also known as "digital analytics," is the process of gathering and analyzing data about website traffic and user behavior. The data gathered will then be used to improve your user journey experience and website performance, resulting in more leads and, ultimately, more sales or conversions.

Benefits of web analytics
As with nearly all fields of business, also in digital development, the knowledge and understanding of the current situation is the baseline for success and growth. Collecting and analyzing the data helps to understand the behavior of the users of the digital services, to do A/B-testing, and to provide information on where to invest the existing resources. Analytics can help the organization to understand, even on a deeper level, where to invest: sometimes, it can be marketing and communication actions, and other times the wisest move is to invest in developing digital services. Often the optimal outcome is the combination of them both.
A famous quote by John Wanamaker says: “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don't know which half.” Nowadays, web analytics provide information that helps us to see what works and what does – and not only in marketing but with nearly all digital interactions happening.
